The synthesis of monodisperse alkanes with long chains
No full textThis thesis discusses reasons for the interest in monodisperse long chain alkanes and describes attempts, past and present, to synthesise such molecules. Chapter 1 discusses why the synthesis of such molecules are important and the objectives of this project. Chapter 2 reviews the methods previous groups have devised to prepare pure samples of long chain alkanes. In particular, work carried out by Whiting et al. at Bristol, whose scheme formed the basis of the early work in Durham. Chapter 3 describes the work in Durham and improvements which were made to Whiting's method, allowing the synthesis of longer chain lengths and greater quantities of materials to be achieved. Chapter 4 provides a summary of the practical work carried out by the author. Chapter 5 gives experimental details of the work described in Chapter 4

Towards the Theatre: Opasnyi Povorot (Dangerous Corner). The 1939 Production by G.M. Kozintsev at the Leningrad Comedy Theater
No full textThe subject of this research is the first production in a series of theatrical works by G.M. Kozintsev (1905–1973) of the late 1930s — early 1950s, which are fundamentally important both in his creative biography and in the history of Soviet theatre of that era. The author suggests that the entry of the famous film director into theatre was caused by the desire to find a way out of a creative impasse.
The director’s appeal to the play of the modern English novelist and playwright J.B. Priestley and its controversial interpretation were driven by the dramatic atmosphere of the late 1930s. The eccentric grotesque of the play and its pamphlet character, which was insisted on by the director, are considered as a parody of tragedy by the author of the research. This reveals a fundamental connection between the production under consideration and the subsequent successful experiments of G.M. Kozintsev in the field of theatrical Shakespeareana. The article draws attention to the fundamental connection between the style of the production and the general style of the Leningrad State Comedy Theatre developed by its director — the outstanding theatre director and set designer, G.M. Kozintsev and E.L. Schwartz’s friend and associate, N.P. Akimov. The research is based on the performance reviews, testimonies of the participants of the performance, contemporaries close to the director (especially the playwright and screenwriter E.L. Schwartz and the long-term G.M. Kozintsev’s co-author L.Z. Trauberg), as well as the surviving radio version of the play
La enseñanza racional y sistemática en Colombia: el caso de la aritmética en la obra escolar de G.M. Bruño (1900-1930)
No full textLa llegada a Colombia de la orden de los Hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas de La Salle, en el marco del proceso de modernización de la educación, se da en el contexto de la hegemonía conservadora y la influencia de la iglesia católica en la educación, lo que tiene condiciona significativamente la formación escolar en diversas disciplinas científicas: gramática, matemáticas, cálculo, geometría, biología, zoología. La enseñanza de la aritmética como disciplina, en el caso de la pedagogía lasaliana, permite ilustrar la pedagogía “sistemática” y “racional” caracterizada por su fundamento metódico. Para demostrar los aspectos enunciados se escogió un corpus de dieciocho libros de aritmética de ediciones G.M. Bruño publicados en el período 1900-1930, los cuales fueron sometidos a un análisis de contenido.
Groundwater - surface water interactions on deeply weathered surfaces of low relief in the Upper Nile Basin of Uganda
No full textLittle is known of the interactions between groundwater and surface water on the deeply weathered surfaces of low relief in the Great Lakes Region of Africa (GLRA). The role of groundwater in sustaining water levels in lakes, rivers and wetlands during periods of absent rainfall is also unclear. Indeed, groundwater is commonly excluded from estimations of the surface water balances. Piezometer nests constructed on the shores of Lakes Victoria (Jinja, Entebbe) and Kyoga (Bugondo) through this study, provide the first evidence of the lithologic interface and dynamic interactions between groundwater and surface water in the GLRA. Evidence is drawn from lithological analyses (texture, lithostratigraphy), geophysical surveys (resistivity mapping, VES), hydraulic tests, borehole hydrographs and hydrochemical (major ions, \delta^2H, \delta^1^8O) data. Groundwater interacts with surface waters primarily via preferential pathways within the coarse horizons towards the base of thick saprolite underlying relatively thin (<5 m) fluviallacustrine sands. Hydrological observations and hydrochemical data indicate that groundwater flows primarily into lakes; this interaction is dynamic varying by season and proximity to lake. Interactions between groundwater and Lakes Victoria and Kyoga are also influenced by changing drainage base (lake) levels that are controlled, in part, by regional, rather than local climatology and dam releases from Lake Victoria (Jinja).
Groundwater levels are strongly influenced by rainfall-fed recharge that depend more upon heavy rainfall events (10 mm\cdot d^-^1) during the monsoons than the total volume of rainfall; mean vertical velocities in the unsaturated zone are ~1 m\cdot d^-^1. Layered heterogeneity in aquifer properties (hydraulic conductivity, storage) indicate deeply weathered rocks formed under prolonged in situ weathering (etchplanation) of lowrelief surfaces. This layered heterogeneity in the saprolite aquifer gives rise to a twocomponent recession in borehole hydrographs following recharge events. A firstapproximation of the proportion of the Lake Victoria’s water balance supplied by groundwater is derived from new observations in this study and is in the order of 1 %
Phylogeogrpahy and genetic diversity of terrestrial arthropods from the Ross Dependency, Antarctica
No full textThe pattern of genetic diversity in many species observed today can be traced back to historic ecological events that influenced the distribution of species not only on a global but also a local scale. For example, historical events such as habitat fragmentation, divergence in isolation, and subsequent range expansion, can result in a recognisable pattern of genetic variation which can be used to infer ecological factors (e.g. effective population size, dispersal capacity), as well as those affecting speciation processes. This thesis examines these issues from a phylogeographic and phylogenetic perspective by analysing patterns of variation in the mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase sub-unit 1 (COI) gene in two co-occurring Antarctic endemic arthropods in Southern Victoria Land, Ross Dependency.
Within the Southern Victoria Land Dry Valleys of Garwood, Marshall and Miers, populations of the springtail Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni (Collembola: Hypogastruridae) and mite Stereotydeus mollis (Acari: Prostigmata) revealed consistently dissimilar patterns of genetic structure. COI divergence within G. hodgsoni was less than 0.7%, while divergence within S. mollis reached upwards of 17%. Within our study area G. hodgsoni and S. mollis harboured 10 and 22 haplotypes, respectively and showed links to previously sampled populations across Southern Victoria Land. The distribution of G. hodgsoni haplotypes across sites was homogenous while those of S. mollis were distinctly heterogenous. The extremely low genetic variation and links to previously sampled populations suggest that G. hodgsoni is a relatively recent colonist within our study area and/or the victim of an extreme bottleneck event. On the other hand, the extreme levels of genetic diversity observed for S. mollis, and the occurrence of two highly divergent haplotypes that were unique to our study area, suggest that: (1) S. mollis may have had a longer association in isolation with our southern study area; and/or (2) S. mollis has colonised our study area on more than one occasion via multiple extant refugial populations.
Throughout its entire Southern Victoria Land range S. mollis is characterised by extremely high levels of mtDNA (COI) divergence (greater than 17%), suggesting a possible multi species complex. To examine this issue, I used both Neighbour Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods to construct a phylogeny utilising all 50 known unique S. mollis sequences with other Victoria Land congeners including an available S. belli sequence, and several new S. shoupi sequences. Both NJ and ML analyses revealed significantly congruent trees with strong bootstrap support. The morphologically similar S. shoupi was placed as a monophyletic sister group, basal to S. mollis in both analyses with strong support. However, there was disagreement between the two methods in the placement of the single S. belli sequence within in the resulting phylogenies which was not possible to resolve with the current data. Despite this latter uncertainty, the possibility of cryptic species within S. mollis remains.
Collectively, these studies have demonstrated differences in the genetic structure between two co-occurring species and suggested how similar historic processes, combined with differing life history attributes can lead to that differentiation. Furthermore, genetic analyses were used to identify isolated and unique populations, which are likely to be of high conservation value
